People that skip queues!

I like this one:

oops sorry working now..

Tinder Surprise · 14-10-2015 11:20AM

I was involved in an incident as recently as Saturday night with a very irritated Nigerian woman who decided that Queuing was not for her, or her very scruffy Irish mate (both around 40yrs old)...

back story...
so its the wee hours of Saturday night/Sunday morning so the good wife and I decided to get a bag of chips in the chipper after we spent the evening drinking with friends for a Birthday party.

the chipper is pretty full with the Que going around the perimeter of the walls, and up to the service counter.
in walks our Nigerian 'friend' and her stinky buddy and decide that the top of the Que looks better than the back; and proceed to shout their orders at the staff.

my wife politely highlights that there is a Que to which she turns her head a scoffs, and continues to try and make an order.
I again tell her to get back to the end as there is a Que - to which a reply comes back ' No I've placed my order'

Its then I tell her 'no you have not and Que like the rest of us'..

Out comes a waving finger and...
"HEY FCUK YOU, I PAY YOUR FCUKING TAXES"

Don't ask.. i haven't the fooking foggiest either.

Then her smelly friend decides to weigh in with her finger waving waffle, but my goodness the smell of Billy Ocean off the girl :eek: made the both of us nearly puke.

I politely highlighted her issues with body odour, and again told her where to get off, as at this point they both seriously pissed me off with the they way they spoke to my wife.

thankfully a member of security came and ejected them both soon after, and one of the counter staff told us fair play, as she is known to be a right C u Next Thursday.

THE END.

I've been living in Asia for almost 4 years and it's a nightmare here! Even in Japan, where they have the reputation of being polite, it's bad.

Don't even ask about China!!

But I can't believe how many people are saying that it's mostly women who do this. The few times that I can remember it happening in Ireland, it was always men. Maybe it's because I'm female and they think a woman won't speak up?

I also can't believe that it seems like a lot of people posting here don't say anything. A bus queue is different but otherwise, I never let it go.

What reason would you have for not saying anything? Fear? I'm genuinely curious.

If it happens in the work canteen, calling out a colleague you don't know is something you need to weigh up.

Embarrassing someone to later find out they control whether your contract is renewed is not a good place to be..

Was in Aldi at the weekend, a scruffy looking guy called out the name of a women that was in front of me and asked if he could go in front of her, never mind the 4 or 5 other people after her in the queue. He only had two large bottles of cider so i wasn't going to say anything. He through some coins at the cashier and left, she counted the coins and he had left her a euro short. The poor women he knew looked very embarrassed but wasn't her fault.

Howard the Duck · 14-10-2015 11:42AM

Just remembered another time when i was the queue skipper!

Was at a charity dance night, one of those ones where it's like strictly come dancing. It was in a local football club i had never been in. Walked up to the bar and there were a few people at the bar not many so i stood at the bar and waited.
They were very slow at serving but eventually i got served then i turn around and see two massive queues either side of me, now i'm pretty sure the queuing system hadn't started when i got there but some guy proceeded to have a go at me and wouldn't listen to a word i said. Put me in a bad mood until i seen all the terrible dancing later on.

Dont get me going on people who skip the queues.

IT is always old people when i am queueing for the train or the bus. I could be the 1st in the line and about 5 or 6 old people come and push you of the way by push i really mean push you.

Once i was in a shop on Xmess eve buying a book and there was a long line so i was in it a good 10 min to buy the book and this old one comes along and skips me and puts her stuff up on the counter i told her get to back you very rude person.

Same in banks and post offices old ladys and men think they have the right to skip the queues and push them way to the front. One day in the bank a old lady was trying to skip everyone and i kept moving side to side so she would not be able to pass me and skip me.

I know we have to get old but why do you have to get so rude when you do ?.

whatdoicare · 14-10-2015 11:53AM

I accidently skipped the queue the other day, I was in Lidl and there was a half empty conveyor belt.

There was a trolley with stuff but it wasn't in the queue exactly, it was more away nearer the shelves and noone with it so I just assumed it was that deal when people work there do that thing where the scan in a trolley and then put up how much cheaper it is than Tesco.

Just as I started putting stuff on a young fella rocked up to the trolley and I was too embarrassed to turn around when I realised what had happened. ðŸ˜ž

Sorry Lidl shopper dude, I didn't mean to be a dick.

Taxi stands and chippers avoid with my life seen so many unnecessary shenanigans at these after a good night out, the devils work

We only ever notice the people who do these things, we don't notice the countless others who don't - because our attention is never drawn to those that are behaving in exactly the same way that we are.

So someone sees a couple of older people skipping queues, and misses the other ten older people who waited patiently in line. People might notice the couple of women who didn't thank them for being let out in traffic, but don't take into account the ones (like me) who always do. And so they attribute the actions of a small noticeable few, to an entire grouping.

Very odd way to think, imo - and most certainly the way a minority of individuals think, rather than the majority. Thankfully.

You're recidivist in posting this mawkish sentiment. Nearly enough to be considered self-righteous many is the time, but you hold back just enough so as not to overdo it. But just enough to garner thanks for how altruistic and humane you are.

Agreed, Chip Van's however are the worst as there usually is no queue just a mob and drunk fulled madness.

However I do not mind this as much as it's chaotic you know what to expect, the queue is a societal construct of fairness, the pinnacle of order in chaos, and some f##er decides to sh1t all over that????

Was queuing to enter the US one day and there were a few Americans in the queue in front of me when a few more decided to skip past everyone and join up with them.

"Excuse me, there's a queue, and it's for everyone," I said to them.

"But we are travelling together as a family," one of them said and then they all promptly turn their backs on me.

"That doesn't give you the right to waltz past everyone and skip the queue," I said them.

They all ignored me.

With that a security guard comes over, having seen what happened.

"Are you all American citizens?" he says to the family of assholes in front of me.

"Yes, yes, we are," came the reply as some of them turned to sneer at me.

"Ok, well you need to go to the queue over there, this one is for non-Americans" said the guard.

Cue red faces galore as they all had to leave the wrong queue and go to the back of the proper queue.

Tossers.

That was not queue-jumping. Your man obviously forgot something and went to get it. Fair dues to him for not emptying all his shopping on to the belt before heading off - now THAT is annoying and is a regular thing in Aldi/Lidl.

It's the law. When we turn 60 we have to give up sense of humour, our hygiene and the ability to even think sex let alone get horny. It's a cruel day for us all.

On the plus side we always get a seat on the bus and get to piss off everyone younger than us...and pinch cheeks, that is a favourite of mine.

It's horrible when people try to be nice, isn't it? I mean you're just getting settled into a good old misanthropic moanfest of a thread and someone comes along and points out that sometimes people are actually alright.

Where's the hate these days, I mean honestly?

By the way, "many is the time" is not a phrase in the English language and it wouldn't mean what you think it means if there was.

Just to get things back on a negative track.

Chip vans are the height (pronounced Hythe just to differentiate myself from the Brits on here) of orderly queueing and good manners compared to Supermacs Galway at club closing time.

mfceiling · 14-10-2015 01:16PM

Yet the amount of you that will let a car in after he's driven the whole way up the outside and decides he's pulling in at the front.

GO FCUK YOURSELF

I've been sitting in traffic for 5 mins yet you think it's ok to waltz past everyone and bang on your indicator at the last second.
Please folks....keep the gap closed and don't let them in....cnuts

Op youre not refering to dublin bus right.

In Las Palmas airport a couple of weeks ago. Flight to Dublin was a 8pm so we my partner and a friend) go to the airport at 5.30. About 30 people ahead of us to check in bags. It took 50 minutes to get to near the top of the q. One couple in front of us.

This guy appears at the top of the q standing beside the couple and the woman said to him "What are you doing" to which he replied "Ah I am on my own, you dont mind if i go ahead of you".

Anyway he promptly got told to f off and then proceeded to stand in front of us. When I told him to get back to the end of the q he said "Ah cmon on man It will take me ages to check in". Apparantly it is ok for everybody else to q but not him. Needless to say I told him to sod off.

Saw him about an hour later, he was with a few people and decided to be all brave and shout abuse at us. I just went up to him and asked him was he not embarrassed that a crowd of people where laughing at him earlier.

He just walked off fing and blinding. Funnilly enough he was the last person onto the plane but the first person off.

The one thing that really p!sses me off is when eldery men or women is in the queue for the bus/train they automatically think they have a 'right' to jump ahead of everyone else. [not sayin they're all rude] but some are. One time I was on the bus. I'm visually impaired. And I got told I was selfish by some random old person for not givin up me seat for her! She could obviously clearly see I had a white cane in me hands! But me being the kind person I am, I got up and gave the woman me seat and yet the old bag continued to have a go at me!

I was once given out in the bus because i gave a seat to older man. He wasn't happy that a young girl gives seat to him. I learned a lesson. Never give up your seat. Or sit in 2nd floor.

I dont mean to pry but when you say visually impaired and you have a white cane how do you read stuff on the internet (im not being ignorant just curious)

Not the OP but if your vision is impaired enough not to be able to read a screen using a magnifier and/or high resolution you can get programs that read the screen out to you or you can get a braille display that brailles out the text to you.

Identifying the end of a queue can be tricky sometimes though.

Daroxtar · 14-10-2015 01:28PM

A while ago I was at a wedding in Madrid. When I was returning home, I arrived in the departure area to find the whole compliment of passengers stood up in line waiting, almost 90 minutes before the flight was due to take off.
Well fück that, I thought, so I sat down and enjoyed my coffee and read and relaxed.
Over an hour later the call came through "Priority boarding, please come to the front"
I stayed sitting for a few more minutes then sauntered up past the queue, asking if the passengers were priority boarding or not. When I reached the end of the regular boarding passes I joined the line and got on the plane within about 3 minutes, nicely relaxed and unstressed. I felt not a single shred of guilt.

I'd like to thank Michael oLeary for his great service and I look forward to my next journey with him.

I've lived in Singapore nearly two and a half years and I've yet to see anyone bar the odd old woman skip queues. In general, the only people with bad manners over here are white tourists.

Whoa! It's getting a bit tense in here. You'd want to be careful with that making fun stuff. You might get dismissed from your role as Political Corrector.
